Civic Act-up (Chinese: 公民起動; pinyin: Gōngmín Qǐdòng) is a small pro-democracy political group in the Hong Kong, China. It was founded on 24 September 2003 by a group of relatively young activists with the encouragement of Legislative Councillor Cyd Ho Sau-lan, to challenge the existing pro-Government District Councillers in Wanchai in the 2003 District Council elections. There is no formal structure in the group.
The platform of the group includes pressing for universal suffrage for the Chief Executive and Legislative Council, improvements in urban design and transportation, paying special attention to youth, women and ethnic-minority issues, and extending anti-discrimination laws to the areas of age, sexual orientation and race.
Three out of five candidates of the group won in the 2003 District Council elections.
